This has been an age old question that never had a written response (that worked).

In the upcoming v12.3 of the UnderVerse I had this need. I spent too much time experimenting to find the solution.Changing the dock_with line in the system.ini simply led to a player crash.Trying the alter the destination in the base files had no result.I was resigned to changing it to a wormhole but finally found a clue on Lancers Reactor. I did not capture the posters name, sorry. Here is the post:

-----------------------------------WTS-World Version 1.3 in game screenshots and feedback so here goes.

If you dock with the Perth Roid Miner near Perth Staion in the Edinburgh System. It is just black inside with the launch to space button only. You click on this to launch and you are launched back into space but outside the Roid Miner 5 in the Tau 31 System near Planet Harris.-----------------------------------This mod obviously had made all of the Miners dockable. There was no answer to his observation, he was ignored. I traced the files:

--------------------------------------The deck is the dummy deck from Alaska, used many times by DA for non-dockable locations.I have NOT tested if it actually works across systems without crashing as I was only interested in in-system docking.

But it works!

I can dock with one base and undock at another flawlessly, no crashing in multiplayer. For the return trip I made some virtual bases (since the above only works in one direction).You could even use this for an Easter Egg shortcut for those players that find it.

Oh, be sure to place to destination base first in your system.ini file, followed by the docked-at base or it won't work. Freelancer reads top to bottom.
